The weigh-in for tonights highly anticipated super featherweight rematch between two of boxing’s best, Erik Morales and Manny Pacquiao, was held at the beautiful Wynn Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The atmosphere was electric, as excited and vocal fans were cheering for both fighters. Morales of Tijuana, Mexico, looked a little gaunt as he often does at these events, but came in 130 lbs on the nose, before jumping off the scale and quickly replenishing some fluids. Philippine hero Pacquiao came in at a ripped 128.5 lbs, ready to go. Fight fans, the countdown is on! The main undercard is also likely to provide an explosive rematch between super flyweights Martin Castillo of Mexico, and Venezuela’s Alexander Munoz. WBA Super Flyweight champ Castillo came in at 114.5 lbs, while his opponent that he took the title from, Munoz, came in at the super flyweight limit of 115lbs.
